Verdict

HANDS OFF shaped with plenty of encouragement under considerate handling when runner-up on his hurdling debut at Ascot last month and is sure to have derived plenty from that experience, so he gets the nod to go one better. Moon Hunter was nicely on top of a subsequent winner at Wetherby so is highly respected under a penalty, as is Theatre Man, who dominated from start to finish at Hereford.
